This ecumenical dialogue explores current topics in a time of religious plurality. Benedictine Women of Madison welcomes Hans Ucko to Holy Wisdom Monastery to spark the conversation. Ucko believes the discussion involves many needs: * We need new understandings of the diversity of religion-culture relationships, especially as experienced by religious communities in two-thirds of the world. * We need an analysis of the religion-politics matrix within a commitment to the poor and the liberation of the oppressed. * We need common action to open up relations with others, specifically in order to answer the call for social justice. * We need a dialogue with secular disciplines of thought and socio-anthropological analysis in examination of human religious experience. Ucko asserts that in dealing with the questions of religious plurality it is good to do so from a multi-disciplinary way, not only to get the theological aspects right, if this is possible, but to see religious plurality as it is: an expression of our life—together.
